WR Flowers: Harbaugh's practices led to injuries
Zay Flowers claims Harbaugh's tough practices led to injuries for Ravens players.
LeBron James is considering re-signing with the Lakers for $101 million to continue competing for championships alongside Luka Doncic. His decision may also be influenced by the potential to play with his son, Bronny James, in the future.

The Los Angeles Lakers are still evaluating what the next move will be for LeBron James after this season. However, the organization has already met his stated desire of remaining on a contending team this year.
“LeBron wants to compete for a championship,” Rich Paul told ESPN. “He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning it all. We are very appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years with Jeanie [Buss] and Rob [Pelinka] and consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career.”
James will have decisions to make regarding retirement or free agency following this playoff run. One factor in his thinking could be the presence of Bronny James.
“The path of least resistance involves both James as members of the Lakers next season. That would, of course, involve a lot of sacrifice on LeBron's part. The aging forward would almost certainly need to take a pay cut and perhaps even lessen his role with the team more than what he already has. That could be the trade-off for getting to run the bench unit minutes with Bronny in 2026-27. It was something LeBron thoroughly enjoyed during the recent 137-130 win over the Indiana Pacers. If Bronny continues on the upward trend everyone is noticing over his first two years with the Lakers, that could be a regular occurrence for the pair in 2026-27. It gives LeBron yet another thing to mull over before making his (final) decision in the summer,” Lake Show Life’s Syvatoslav Rovenchuk wrote.
However, there is growing belief that James returning to Los Angeles for another season is becoming increasingly likely.
“All signs are leading LeBron back to Los Angeles. Sure, he doesn't have the leverage he once had, but he doesn't need to sign a max deal. All of these factors should lead LeBron to sign a team-friendly contract to continue his tenure with the Lakers for at least one more season,” Lake Show Life’s Jason Reed wrote.
James is expected to be one of the defining storylines of the NBA offseason. He is coming off a $101 million contract with Los Angeles and is assumed to return on a reduced deal.
The Lakers will continue to rely heavily on him during the playoffs, especially with Luka Doncic and Austin Reavessidelined. James has spent the latter stages of his career in Los Angeles, and all signs point to him finishing his career as a Laker.
